Learn which file formats are supported
Video
Nearly everything. We support all of the most common video container formats and compression schemes used by content creation professionals, including (but definitely not limited to) the following:
Supported Container Formats & Codecs
Container Format | File Extension | Codec |
MPEG-4 | .mp4 |
H.264 H.265/HEVC |
WebM | .webm |
VP8 VP9 (HDR10 is downconverted to SDR by default) |
QuickTime | .mov |
H.264 ProRes |
Matroska | .mkv |
H.264 H.265/HEVC |
We know that it’s difficult to predict what types of formats might be uploaded to SyncSketch, so our goal is to accept every video format possible. Apart from those listed above, we support dozens more container formats and video codecs that content creation professionals wouldn't normally care about.
